About Michael

I have been a member of the Edward Jones family for 29 years, the first three as a client.

Prior to Edward Jones, I was in advertising sales for our city magazine. It was enjoyable, but I did not feel I was making a true impact. My financial advisor helped me realize that a career with Edward Jones could give me the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of others.

My ideal clients are those who want to carefully and thoughtfully work toward such financial goals as preparing for and living in retirement, sending children to college, estate considerations...
